A recent decision by WidgetBucks has affected most of its members. Clicks from traffic coming from outside United States and Canada are no longer counted. It’s a big blow to all of its members especially those whose traffic primarily comes from their own country (i.e, local social network, clubs, etc). However, I think it is a bitter pill for WidgetBucks to take since their advertisers are also complaining. Some other companies has done that before. The main reason is that most people from outside the two countries doesn’t really buy goods online.
A Filipino SEO expert has shared his knowledge to filter the traffic on your site, too. Here’s his tip on how to do that. By using his technique, widgetbucks widgets will only appear if the visitor is from US and Canada. For outside the those countries, you can show other ads. You can use adsense if you have one.
Well, if you are still banned from adsense, WidgetBucks is still a good alternative. For me, the change has significantly lowered its edge against adsense. I still have widgetbucks in an inner page of one of my sites. But that’s just it.
